Switching to an Evo VIII from SRT-4
I've always loved Evo's since I was younger, but I could never afford one so I settled for a 2005 Dodge SRT-4 which I bought in '07 with only 17,000 miles. Don't get me wrong I really like my SRT and I enjoyed slowly modding it to over 300whp. However I'm older now and can afford the car I really wanted which is an Evo. I've been looking around on autotrader and narrowed it down to these two '03 Evo VIII's the red and yellow one.

Was wondering which one you guys think is a better buy. I'm kinda leaning more towards the yellow one because it seems bone stock with lower mileage and only one owner. I really like the red one a lot too but I'm afraid its been beaten to hell and back and will be a difficult daily driver.

There was a thing a while back about yellow evo's being cursed. Something to consider.

Yeah I'm not too fond of the yellow paint, but I think if I painted the wheels black it might look decent. Anything i need to know about the 03's compared to the newer Evo VIII's?

Im trying to find the threads talking about it, but in the early days it seemed that yellows where getting wrecked at a higher ratio then any other color. I actually purchased an OEM hood from a wrecked yellow.
